長對話和段子題
長對話和段子題部分而言，本次考題同樣對往年的考點進行了完整的闡釋。
比如文首的重要性表現(xiàn)在：
長對話第一篇的19題B It requires him to work long hours.是對文章開頭回合W: What sort of hours do you work, Steve? M: Well I have to work very long hours, about eleven hours a day. 的考察。
長對話第二篇的23題A The pocket money British children get.也是對文章開頭的考察，以名詞方式考察了對話主題。W: Now you’ve seen this table of figures about the pocket money children in Britain get? M: Yes. I thought it was quite interesting, but I don’t quite underst⻆뚕ꗖ몣븊䅮ᄕᚔhttp://bulo.hjenglish.com/group.htm©版權所有滬江網ᚔᄕ䅮븊몣ꗖ뚕⻆and the column entitled change. Can you explain what it means?
段子題的第一篇26題A District managers，同樣出現(xiàn)在文章首句As the new sales director for a national computer firm, Alex Gordon was looking forward to his first meeting with the company’s district managers.中。
段子題第二篇30題C Ask to see the manager politely but firmly.也同樣在文首The way to complain is to act business-like and important. If your complaint is immediate, suppose you got the wrong order at a restaurant, make a polite but firm request to see the manager.出現(xiàn)
段子題第三篇33題B Architect.雖然略靠后，但也在文首三句中出現(xiàn)Barbara Sanders is a wife 끢ᩣ㟇훍拏ྑ꾯쾩http://bulo.hjenglish.com/myfeed/©版權所有滬江網쾩꾯ྑ拏훍㟇ᩣ끢and the mother of two children, ages 2 and 4. Her husband, Tom, is an engineer 轍扢ꉭ䅔녣쮊http://bulo.hjenglish.com/event/©版權所有滬江網쮊녣䅔ꉭ扢轍and makes an excellent salary. Before Barbara had children, she worked as an architect for the government, designing government housing.
無一例外的考察文首的現(xiàn)象在歷年都很罕見，但此次卻出題如此工整。
再如：
第20題D It demands physical endurance and patience.的問題為Q 20. What does the man think is the hardest part of his job?和第21題D In a hotel.的問題為Q 21. Where did the man get his first job after graduation? 看看這兩個問題，是否可以發(fā)現(xiàn)其中的hardest和first的存在，標志了考察重點所在。同樣觀察下31題Q31 Why does the speaker say the worst way to complain is over the telephone?，恐怕大家都能發(fā)現(xiàn)關鍵信息的標志了。
類似Q34 What does Barbara's husb斦썽뒢䶪鏥䕓둸睇http://www.yeshj.com/©版權所有滬江網睇둸䕓鏥䶪뒢썽斦and suggest she do if she wants to work?的建議考點也同樣表現(xiàn)明顯。
所以就段子題而言，可以歸納如下：
從體裁上講，本次考試并未出現(xiàn)以往較難的說明文（例如09年12月“介紹木星的衛(wèi)星”，09年6月“喂鳥知識”），而是代以一篇小故事和兩篇議論文。事實上，從教學和測試的角度講，任何事物都是平衡的。故事類的考題內容較簡單，但考題可以設計的較難，因為題目可以建立在必須聽懂的基礎之上，如本次考試 passage 1的最后一題及其正確答案(gender sensitive)。本次議論文的設計中規(guī)中矩，沒有較難的考題。
從解題方法上講，我們一貫的解題思路依然適用，而且非常有效：
1. 聽到什么選什么。我們建議考生在解四級聽力文章題時盡量選擇和聽到的內容基本一致的答案，盡管一般情況下只有第一題的正確率較高，但本次考試的此種題目占到總題量的80%（除了passage 1的最后兩題）。例如passage 2的開頭“…… If your complaint is immediate, suppose you got the wrong order at a restaurant, make a polite but firm request to see the manager.”,最后的正確答案“Ask to see the manager politely but firmly.”及passage 3的中段“…… He also thinks that a woman should stay home with her children. If Barbara feels the need to do socially important work, he thinks that she should do volunteer work one or two days a week.”，而正確答案是“Do some volunteer work. ”
2. 絕對化聽力考點。“文章題到底該聽什么？”一直是困惑考生的基本問題，本次出現(xiàn)了一貫的絕對化考點詞如我們上課所說的main, chief, major, most(最高級)等等，這些詞之后出現(xiàn)考點，例如passage 1中的“……， Alex Gordon was looking forward to his first meeting with the company's district managers. ……”，passage 2種的“The worst way to complain is over the telephone. …… So you can't tell how the person on the line is reacting.”
3. 議論文的考題重點在情緒化考點詞。正如四級考試是“淘劣不選優(yōu)”的測試方法，建議考生在聽文章時盡量選擇簡單詞，而議論文重點在于作者的論點，往往“是非，褒貶”的概念更為重要，例如passage 3最后一題“.….. Tom does not think a babysitter can replace a mother and thinks it's a bad idea for the children to spend so much time with someone who's not part of the family.”，其中的劃線詞是必須聽到的內容，表達了情緒化觀點，而且也是最容易的聽力內容。
